We stayed at Chaweng Buri Resort and its worth a look. Its right on the nice part of the beach in town and has nice gardens and set back from the road so its quiet and there are heaps of restaurants just outside the resort. Its about a 3 star place- I think they claim 4 stars but this would be stretching it in my view. I would be inclined to book accommodation in advance as I think you can generally get a better deal on the internet. There are heaps of places in Chaweng Beach that offer a range of prices so if you don't mind wandering around I am sure you would find something you would like and in your price range. Samui is a lovely place for a holiday but very touristy in my opinion.
